One of my favorite people, Ms. Lybi, asked me to run in this special 5K to help support the YWs in her ward. I believe this fundraiser was to help them get to girls camp. Of course I agreed!
Originally I was going to run it slowly and the run another 12 miles afterwards, but last minute decided to run it like the 5k it was and see how I would do. There was no way I was ever going to place when the first person in was in my age and gender bracket (that chiqa was amazing!), but I did come in 4th of my gender... and am super happy with myself... and, can I point out that I just had a baby 4 months ago? Even *I* think I'm crazy.
But, I have also fallen a little behind on my marathon training. I still plan to run it in 4 weeks; however, I'm thinking it's time to watch "The Spirit of the Marathon" to get my dedicatino back. It's time to "do this thing"
Thank you, Ms. Lybi, for asking me to participate in today's 5K. Not only did I get to see you (which I LOVED), and run, but I really enjoyed the race. Everyone was so nice and clearly excited about the fundraiser. Remember me if they do it again.
